Maetel and Tetsuro inspect the body of a cyborg assassin

After landing on the planet, Tetsuro explore the area and Tetsuro gets his first taste of the citizens on the planet when a grown man punches him in the face for no apparent reason. Moments later, an elderly couple breaks out into a fisticuffs in the middle of the street. During the chaos, one of the Duke Mecha’s assassins tries to kill Tetsuro but Maetel is able to thwart his plans. Maetel and Tetsuro decide to head back to the GE999 for safety but before they can, another assassin lassoes Tetsuro and drags him through the street. Tetsuro is able to shoot the man’s vehicle, causing it to crash, which kills the assassin and sends Tetsuro flying into a tofu shop, which knocks him unconscious.

The ringleader readies his aim

When he awakens, Tetsuro finds himself in the care of the elderly couple from earlier and their two children. Elsewhere in the city, Maetel is searching for Tetsuro and discovers that another man is searching for him as well. Maetel eventually finds and confronts the man and a small fight breaks out between the two. Maetel easily bests him and is able to find out that the man works for Duke Mecha, a friend of Count Mecha. Before she can find out more, the ringleader of the assassins kills the man to silence him and flees the scene.

The assassin ringleaders takes a hostage

As he is walking down the street, the ringleader sneaks up behind him but is taken out by Maetel. Afterwards, the two of them return to the GE999 and continue on their journey.
